Extensively self-built and still one of the most highly insulated houses in the UK - 150mm insulation in a timber frame (walls) wrapped in 50mm of polyurethane foam removing all cold bridges. One north facing window and 54% southerly triple glazing, heated exclusively with renewable energy (sun, and wood for the stove) and using mechanical ventilation with heat recovery.

The ground floor is open plan. A central 2-storey void opens up the space. The first floor is a series of rooms around a central staircase which extends up to a secondary, more private living room in the roof.

Natural materials are used everywhere, a majority of them second hand. Finished internaly in organic paints.
